What happened to Cole Boats?

[J540]

We have owned our Cole for about 7 years now.(Selling soon)
I believe the boat was built between 84-87 (20-21 ft open bow jet)
I think it might be called a skier but I am not 100% sure?

Last I heard Cole moved to Havasu. Not sure if they are still in business now.
Nope still in Chatsworth.
I'm pretty sure Force doesn't have the molds to the 25 / 28 anymore.. I think that deal fell through? Not 100% though.
You are 100% right.
Domn8er powerboats has the molds. The 22, 25, and 28 I believe .
Not all of them
Great reading coleTR1. My eyes are all bugged out now.
Who robbs a boat shop?! Fricking idiots. I was thinking the deal was that he got mixed up with the wrong crowd.
:wink:
I would've got right back on the horse and cranked out a even better boat
Not with guys Twice trying to Kidnap you then putting a bullet in you. I think you mite think twice.
John(j540) one of the fastes Cole 20'ers. V-Drives are best.

:2purples: Just to clear the air. We build the TR-2 and the TR-6 runner bottoms. Used mostly for drag racing. The history we have gathered has to do mainly with them. As for the "REST OF THE STORY" about what happened to Cole boats and Jim, I pleed the 5TH on that. I really dont know what to believe... So I feel its best not to post any of the "Stories" I've been told. :argue:

J540, does the 22.4 skier have the same bottom as the 20? I've been tossing around the idea of converting mine from an outdrive to a V-drive. One of those things that make you go hmmmmmmm!

Well as checking out Force Offshores new website, I noticed they don't list the 25 or the 28. WTF... What happened with that deal. I really like Force boats. Force is putting out some nice boats. So, who and the hell has the molds for those two boats? I think the old 25 Cole is one bad ass boat. I'd love to have one of them. I hope a reputable company ends up with those two molds.

I use to hang around his shop a lot when i was a lot younger, My Brother use to run a Cole TFF and a good friends of his ran a TAF BGF . And as i got older i use to help out at the shop and built a lot of parts over there for my boat. I haven't talk to him in a few months, but I will. I need to get the 20' mold to lay up another so i can change a few things. I like the way i did mine and it runs good just want to do a few things different.
